Charleston Fashion Week

Charleston Fashion Week, Marion Square, Charleston, S.C.
I joked a couple of years ago that the one festival I wasn't involved with at all was Charleston Fashion Week and wondered if it was because I tend to wear Dansko shoes. Heheh. This year, thanks to Charleston Magazine and the American Heart Association I was offered tickets to last night's fashion show. Lordy, I could have used up a camera card just taking pictures of women's shoes. No sensible Danskos in sight. It was an experience. As I understand it, the entire event started as the brainchild of Ayoka Lucas pictured above and has blossomed into a very successful event. 

I wasn't seated in a place to get good pictures so just grabbed a couple to document the event. I have to admit that my favorite part of the night was the kid's fashions. They were so adorable.

I have never attended a fashion show, and I suspect that my streak will remain intact well into the future.

Ha! This was probably a one time event for me but it was fun to catch a glimpse of how the other half lives.

What a great experience you had. Sorry about the fact that you didn't have a press pass to get closer to good lighting for more photos...nect year!

Never heard of Danskos - must look those up! Love the last two dresses, but I have to say that chick with the topknot in the first picture looks straight out of the 1980's. Is that look coming back?

I'm with you with the Dansko's... ha ha... Wonder how they walk in those tall spiky heels? That always amazes me!

It was interesting. There was a whole bank of photographers at the end and wandering around the park.

Danskos are my go-to comfort show. They are more cloggy but most years have one that is slightly more of a mary-jane with straps and looks a little dressier.

Me too! I am all about comfy feet.
